Artwork requirements

  • Please create a wiki page with your proposal at DebianArt/Themes.

  • If you do not want to do a whole theme, you are welcome to submit a wallpaper or other images to DebianArt.

Concept

Please write down a line or two about your idea.

Please add the license under which your artwork can be distributed with Debian GNU/Linux. For instance for the GPL v2+ add the line:

"Copyright: year, your full name <email@domain>, License: GPL-2.0+"

Technical requirements

A theme consists of a whole set of graphics. You do NOT need to do them all until a decision has been made which artwork will be distributed with the next release of Debian GNU/Linux.

But you should know that all these graphics have to be done at some point - and you should be willing to do them.

Debian logo with text

http://www.debian.org/logos/

The Debian logo has been relicensed since Wheezy. So you are welcome to use the swirl with or without the word "debian", written in the font "Poppl Laudatio Condensed" with a red dot for the "i".

Boot Screen

  • GRUB 2: 640x480, 24bit, file PNG.
  • Isolinux: 640x300px, 4bit color depth (means: 16 colors). View Make Sys Image.

  • Syslinux: 640x300px, 16bit color depth (means: 65,536 colors), in PNG format.
  • Plymouth: a SVG file (or at the very least a collection of PNGs for the different elements of scene and background).

Debian Installer

  • A picture with 800x75px, 16bit (65536 colors).
  • Possibly a gtk theme to match the colors of the image. The theme must be stripped and default custom buttons will not be used - see the discussion about the stripped Bladr theme.

Desktop Wallpaper

  • recommended to be a SVG file
  • It must look nice when cropped to either of those resolutions (spacefun is a good example of what to do NOT):

  • 1280x1024 or 2560x2048 5:4 SXGA
  • 1600x1200 or 2048x1536 4:3 standard
  • 1920x1200 or 2560x1600 16:10 widescreen
  • 1920x1080 16:9 FullHD

Login Screen

A picture that can be used by GDM 3, KDM and other desktop managers.

  • Same requirements as for the desktop wallpaper
  • SVG format recommended
  • The picture should be able to fade smoothly into the desktop wallpaper (f.i. from KSplash to KDE).

Other images

  • CD/DVD labels
  • Website Banner;
  • Blog banner (to allow people to promote the release in their blogs and in bits.d.o)
  • Wiki banner (around 380x380, non-square works too)
  • T-shirt

Gamma: Please gamma-correct all this artwork. 0.45 (not 2.2).
